The curly braces are quotes for Lojban text within text of other languages. 
I'm not quite sure why they're used, but it's a kind of standard.

For upper case apostrophe, I'll give the example of the name of selma'o 
{KOhA} (again, braces are "quotes"). It is derrived from {ko'a}. So, as 'K' 
is capital 'k', 'h' is capital apostrophe.
